Automated Windows for Natural Ventilation from Breezway

Automated Windows are Best for High Level Natural Ventilation

The fact that air rises as it heats up has been used for centuries as a way to draw fresh, cooler air into a building. This is one of the prime reasons that double height voids and windows positioned close to the ceiling are common features of naturally comfortable homes.

Our Altair Louvre Windows are well suited to these applications for three reasons:

1. They remain fully functional even when using short and wide window shapes,
2. They maximise ventilation, and
3. They are one of the few window types which can be operated when out of reach.

Around 1 in 10 of the Altair Louvre Windows that we manufacture and sell have Ring Handles which are specifically designed for clerestory windows which will be out of reach and will be opened and closed using a Map Rod. Honestly, this frustrates me a bit. Not because I think that Ring Handles are bad, but simply because there are five really good reasons to upgrade these windows to automated Powerlouvre Windows.

1. The louvre windows will be used more frequently.

I'm old enough to remember when electric windows and airconditioning were not standard features on most cars. My first car had neither. Without airconditioning, I almost always drove with the driver's side window open and on hot days would lean over to wind down the passenger side window. On SUPER hot days, I'd go to the extra effort of opening the back windows too.
